I don't know how much all of this originally cost, but look what I got for $42:
I found several pairs of earrings for a dollar that I will probably deconstruct for the beads. I also got two little patent leather purse/wallets. One is bright yellow and one is bright pink. They have a detachable shoulder strap and a pocket on the outside to hold my cell phone and lipstick.
See - they hold all sorts of cards and cash. Can you read the price on the inside label? It says $24.99. Do you see the green sticker on the outside of the pink one? The one with the "2." Yep, I paid two dollars each for these.
I found some things that I am going to use for crafting supplies.
I bought two of these pearl bracelets with the fabric flowers. They are actually pretty cute worn as bracelets, but I can also take them apart and have lots of pearls and two cute flower embellishments. They also cost $2 each. I'm not sure what the yellow fabric squares are for, but the print was really cute. They are about 12 inches square and double-sided. At a dollar each, I thought they were a bargain. When I got home and opened the package, there were two in each!
But I think this is my favorite find:
These are rhinestone cuff bracelets. They are about three inches wide and the rhinestone part is a little over five inches long. They are definitely too "bling-y" for me to ever wear in public, but the bracelets are made from individual strips of rhinestones. You can sort of see this in the silver one on the top. I already cut one up to decorate yesterday's daily bird and I am in love with the possibilities. I got two silver ones, one gold one and one copper one. And they cost...wait for it...two dollars each!
It was a happy day.
